The confirmed list of chefs and the team they will support is:
- Phil Fanning (head chef of Paris House) - West Anglia College

Neil Stephens, managing director at Nestlé Professional, said: "To gather together such a superior mentoring panel is testament to the success of the Nestlé Toque d'Or competition and with this year's high calibre mentors now on board we are looking to the students to make the ‘21st Birthday Year' the best cook off yet."
